Discovery AL01X9

A Magnified surprise

A guard at a watchtower was scanning the area, he spotted something of black car. He then equips his binoculars to see who is arriving. It was Hank and his henchmen. He sounded the alarm to notify the personnel that Hank is coming. The grunts and agents fortify around the  entrance. Hank is ready to start the mission by crashing through the entrance. And he did, ran over nearby grunts who were in his path. By the time the forces opened fire, they were all gunned down by Hank and his henchmen. The trio got out their wrecked ride and proceeded onwards throughout the scientific facility.

Trekking in the building, Hank gave the  optional mission to Sanford to proceed on his own; Hank and Deimos gunning down the enemies while proceeding.

Sanford, in a separate part of the facility, enters the supply room where he sees the grunts and riot guards preparing to leave soon with the goods. He opened fire on the suppliers, but the riot guards dodged the shotgun fire and ducked behind cover. Sanford then took out his trusty hook, ran to the other side where the guard was covering; fished him out of there, and nearly point-blanked him with a single M93 Raffica. The other guard fired while remaining in cover. Sanford reacted to dodge his gunfire. He took out a concussive grenade and threw it where covering guard is; the concussive has stunned the riot guard, slightly restricting movement to give Sanford time to blow his head off with his Haymaker 12. After the dispatch of the riot guards, Sanford sees the two supply trucks drove off, but Sanford gives chase after 'em.

In the meantime, Hank and Deimos stormed through the scientific facility while disposing enemies in their way; two Golems with LMGs might be a deterrent for the two. They split up to take down the Golems; the first Golem goes after Hank; they fight it out while knowing the helmet protects him from gunfire, but Hank has his dragon sword to slice out the helmet, exposing the Golem's vulnerable head. Hank kills the Golem by many shots to the exposed head. In present time, the 2nd Golem chases Deimos. Deimos heads for cover 'cus he doesn't have a melee weapon, but that hasn't stopped him yet. Deimos threw a flashbang and a smoke grenade to blind and confuse the Golem. He was looking around for Deimos, but couldn't see through the smoke. Then, at the same time in the Golem's search direction, Deimos slid underneath the Golem and fired akimbo Rangers point blank, killing the second Golem by the the skin in the underside of his helmet. After that, Hank and Deimos rejoined and proceeded onward to the secret vault.

On the road, nearly to the to the freeway, Sanford, on a scooter giving chase to the two supply trucks. Sanford rode up to the front, killing the driver and gunner, causing the first truck gradually stop. Next is the second truck, almost heading to the freeway. Sanford instead shoot the rear tires, causing the truck waver a bit, but one shot on the steering wheel, causing the driver to go out of control and crashed into the freeway, forcing the other vehicles to suddenly stop. Sanford will rejoin Hank and Deimos in a few hours.

At present time, Hank and Deimos are fighting through the enemy forces; Hank remembered that the spy briefed them about a keycard that some scientists had with them. Deimos went ahead while Hank covers fire for him. 

  Sanford made it back to the scientific research facility to catch up to his team. So he followed the trail of corpses to find them.

At a room, Deimos searches for the keycard, a scientist who hiding is about to shoot Deimos, but his bullet reaction is good. Now at a standoff, the two are at gunpoint, but Deimos shot the gun off his hand. He doesn't want to kill the scientist, but to lead them to the secret vault. After dispatching an entire enemy force all by himself, Hank takes a breather; Deimos showed up with a captive. Hank: "Now we wait for Sanford." Deimos: "Yeah. Must be havin' a good time on his end." A few minutes later, Sanford has finally met up with his team. Hank: You. Take us to the secret vault. Now. And no funny business." The captive nodded in agreement to take them into the vault. 

Hank, Sanford, Deimos, and captive finally made it to the secret vault. The captive swiped his keycard, thus gradually opening the vault door. But when it opened, there was nothing inside. Sanford: "You better explain or I'll blow your fucking brains out." The captive scientist gives off a smug laugh. Captive: The Gen. anticipated your arrival. The item you're looking for is already in a transport vehicle, ready to depart. Hank called the Anti-AAHW and explained that the Gen. had beat them to the punch. Anti-AAHW Gen.: "There's still time for you to retrieve the objective. Sanford, despite threating the scientist, lets him go. The captive give the team a tidbit: Captive: "You'll have a *big* obstruction on your way." After he said that, he flees and almost the same time, two giant hands  from the other side of the vault punched through, emitting a red glow. Then they tore the wall down and threw it somewhere. A glowing visor in the dark; when it reveals itself to be a MAG Agent with augment powers. The three had never seen this kinda MAG unit before. This'll be a tough battle.
